Trouble Configuring Honeycomb Bravo Throttles Fenix A320

[bhorv67]

I'm able to use the Bravo throttles on other planes just fine. 

The issue is assigning the 'Throttle 1 & 2 axis' to the physical throttle arms on the bravo for the Fenix A320. 

I can scan & add the hardware in MSFS 2024, but going into the sim, the Fenix throttles aren't responding properly. This isn't an issue of calibration in the Fenix.

The throttles only move back (or reverse) in the fenix, I can't get them to move forward. I tried inverting the axis, that doesn't help. 

I tried running the calibration procedure, but still when moving the bravo throttle arm forward, it moves the Fenix throttles into reverse. Absolutely maddening. 

I don't have this issue in any other plane. I tried reconnecting the Bravo. Doesn't help.

Did you try these instructions? The Fenix is picky on the throttle axis.

Yes it is. I managed to do it in 2020 but I have to go back and review how I did it. I will ping you when I figure it out. I do remember spending lots of time trying to get the throttles to work on the Fénix. It is not a calibration issue.

Sorry, I forgot the actual link.

Thanks Mate, I'm 100% to the instructions. After assigning the axis, they only move into reverse.

Just a thought, do you have the throttle axis' assigned anywhere other than MSFS, (ie FSUIPC) if you do you might try deleting those and any calibrations for those axis'

Was one of the first things I looked at, and it isn't. As mentioned, the throttles only behave this way in the fenix, all other MSFS planes have no issues with the Bravo.

I did see somewhere recently that Windows 24H2 may have something to do with what's going on. 

For now, I'm unable to fly this plane.

Have you tried the nuclear option, uninstalling-reinstalling Fenix? Doing so may clear any conflicts.

Some success. As you suggested, uninstall/reinstall was able to get the Bravo working..almost. At least now the throttles are moving in the right direction. Only thing I did different is disable windows anti-virus during the installation. 

Haven't done a flight yet, but notice 2 other problems:

During the calibration I'm going through the different positions of throttle detent, however throttle 2 cannot move the Fenix throttle into TOGA from MCT. I can see in the calibration screen it is reading the Bravo percentage so I know the Fenix detects the movements, it just won't move throttle 2 into TOGA. Weird.

Other issue is with the liveries - I have 6 different liveries installed, yet only 2 are available in the Fenix variant selection (I get the 5 different Fenix default options, and only 2 of the 6 Airline variants I installed from the Fenix livery manager).

I am glad you are making some  progress installing you controller. Looks like you're on the right path.

Any progress configuring your Bravo throttle on the Fenix?

Having trouble calibrating the #2 throttle handle. Not sure why, but it's in a different position. I also still can't get #2 to go into Toga from MCT.

It's strange that the hardware calibrator in MSFS 2024 doesn't work - when you move the throttle handles, the calibrator does nothing. I'm curious if installing FSUIPC would help?

There has to be something going on with your configuration then because I believe most people have successfully configured the Bravo on the Fenix. The only thing I can think of is to copy a profile that’s functional and apply it to the Fenix. There is an app for 20 dollars that allows you to automatically configure the Bravo but I can’t recommend it as I have not used it. 
 

I hope someone more knowledgeable and experienced with this can chime in and assist you.
